Abstract
The present document relates an audio encoding and decoding system (referred to as an audio codec system). In some embodiments, a method of audio signal encoding comprises: receiving an input audio signal; transforming a sequence of samples of the input audio signal into a block of transform coefficients, the transform coefficients indicative of the spectral energy of the block; estimating a spectral envelope of the block from the transform coefficients; adjusting the transform coefficients using the spectral envelope and a spectral shaper, the spectral shaper including one or more parameters indicative of a fundamental frequency of a multi-sinusoidal signal model, where the fundamental frequency corresponds to a time domain delay; and entropy coding the adjusted transform coefficients.
